Last week in the U.K., Paul Heyman brought Will Ospreay on-stage during Heyman’s one-man show for a sales pitch to join WWNLive.

It turns out Ospreay has signed an exclusive U.S. deal with WWNLive to be part of the EVOLVE roster, PWTorch has learned.

Ospreay has only wrestled a handful of dates for EVOLVE, most-recently during WrestleMania Weekend in Dallas. It’s where Ospreay and Ricochet had their first high-profile encounter this year prior to their buzz-worthy match in Japan during the Best of the Super Jrs. tournament.

Ospreay is expected to join the EVOLVE roster for sporadic dates when he is available with a busy international schedule. Ospreay will still be able to work U.S. indies, like PWG.

Ospreay already has an exclusive international deal with New Japan, who are currently working with Ring of Honor. But, ROH is unable to use Ospreay as part of the ROH-NJPW relationship because of Ospreay’s deal with WWNLive.

I don't wanna say ROH is in trouble but ROH is in trouble. They're stale, people are leaving for FUCKING TNA, Gabe is KILLING it, Gabe is making new stars. When's the last time ROH brought in a hot indy act and made them their own?

Don't get me wrong I love Colt and shit....but really? How many more Jay Briscoe main events can they do before people stop buying in. Cody Rhodes at Final Battle? Weird.

According to Meltz in the latest observerWhile there are reports of Will Ospreay’s signing with Evolve and it would keep him away from working for ROH, those who have spoken with Ospreay said on 7/20 that he had not signed with Evolve and he was still in communication with ROH as late as that date as far as working there for potential dates. Both Evolve and ROH have attempted to get Ospreay to work in the U.S. in between New Japan tours. Ospreay is under contract to New Japan until April 2018
